Cutibacterium acnes induces skin region-specific innate immune memory alterations in human keratinocytes

ABSTRACT: External insults can cause immune activation in immune cells, resulting in persistent molecular changes that can lead to innate immune memory (IIM) changes in these cells. This study investigated the potential for cellular reprogramming in response to Cutibacterium acnes in keratinocytes. We exposed normal human epidermal keratinocytes obtained by mammoplasty (NHEK-B) or abdominoplasty (NHEK-A) to C. acnes, followed by stimulation with Pam3CSK4 to assess immune activation and cellular responses. In NHEK-B cells, C. acnes and Pam3CSK4 treatment induced trained immunity-type responses, with higher expression of selected immune target genes, and a diminished response compared with that in nontrained but Pam3CSK4-induced NHEK-A cells. Total transcriptome analysis delineated regional differences, with the activation of immune-related pathways in NHEK-B cells and increased skin development in NHEK-A cells. We detected differences in metabolic regulation, and utilizing pharmacological inhibitors, we demonstrated the necessity of the optimal regulation of histone acetylation and DNA methylation for the aforementioned changes. This study demonstrated that C. acnes triggers IIM-like processes in keratinocytes, characterized by signaling, epigenetic, and metabolic reprogramming that influences cellular responses to subsequent stimuli. The observation that analogous insults might elicit skin region specific responses offers novel insights into the etiology and mechanisms underlying common inflammatory skin diseases.

Molecular typing and functional profiling of acne-derived Cutibacterium acnes isolates reveal determinants of skin inflammation

Project description:Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) is a ubiquitous skin commensal bacterium that is generally well tolerated by the immune system. Different strain-types of C. acnes have been reported to be enriched on patients with acne. To understand if these strain-types contribute to skin inflammation, we generated a library of over 200 C. acnes isolates from skin swabs of healthy and acne subjects and assessed their strain-level identity and inflammatory potential. Phylotype II K-type strains were more frequent on healthy and acne non-lesional skin compared to lesional. Phylotype IA-1 C-type strains were dominant on acne lesional skin but absent from healthy. Measurement of host cytokine responses from C. acnes supernatant revealed neither strain-type nor skin-type association predicted inflammatory potential. However, differential proinflammatory responses were induced from identical strain-types, but these differences were not attributable to protease, short chain fatty acid or porphyrin production. Instead, whole genome sequencing revealed the presence of a linear plasmid in high inflammatory strain-types. Intradermal injection of C. acnes in mouse skin revealed a plasmid-associated inflammatory response in dermal fibroblasts, revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing. We conclude that C. acnes strain-type is not sufficient to predict inflammation but other virulence factors including a plasmid may contribute to disease.

Gene expression changes by 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene in human bulge-derived keratinocytes

Project description:In the epidermis, keratinocytes are involved in physical and first-line immune protection of the host. In this work, we analyzed molecular responses after the addition of contact sensitizers, 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) using cultured human keratinocytes from the bulge region of a plucked hair follicle (bulge-derived keratinocytes; BDKs) in comparison with neonatal human epidermal keratinocytes NHEK and human monocytic leukemia THP-1. The changes in gene expression by the treatment of DNCB in BDKs were different from those in THP-1. Many genes orchestrating keratinocyte differentiation, which interact TGF-Î² and BMP signaling pathway, were significantly up-regulated in response to DNCB. Keywords: Comparison analysis of gene expression changes by the treatment of DNCB three cell strains composed of four samples; two BDKs established from different donors, NHEK, and THP-1. One replicate per array.

Functional Dynamics of Dendritic Cells in Response to Cutibacterium acnes Strains Associated with Healthy and Acne-prone Skin

Project description:The pathogenesis of acne vulgaris is multifactorial and is influenced by the presence of Cutibacterium acnes. This study investigated how different strains of C. acnes, associated with either healthy skin (CH) or acne-prone skin (CA), selectively modulate the function of three dendritic cell (DC) subtypes: Langerhans cell-derived (LCDC), monocyte-derived (moDCs), and myeloid (mDCs). Our findings revealed that all DC subtypes secreted varying levels of TGF-β, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12p70, and IL-23 in response to C. acnes stimulation. Notably, moDCs exhibited the highest cytokine secretion in response to CA-ribotypes, indicating their potent immune responsiveness. Conversely, LCDCs were the least responsive, regardless of the ribotypes. Principal component (PCA) and gene ontology (GO) analysis of bulk RNA sequencing data of DCs exposed to C. acnes identified extensive transcriptional changes, particularly in immune response pathways. moDCs showed the most pronounced transcriptional changes, aligning with their high cytokine secretion levels. Additionally, we identified specific genes upregulated by CA-ribotypes, with notable differences among the DC types, highlighting the unique contributions of each DC subtype to the skin's immune defense mechanisms against C. acnes. Overall, our study underscores the complexity of DC responses in the skin's immune environment and provides valuable insights into their roles in acne.

Upregulation of FOXM1 Induces Genomic Instability in Human Epidermal Keratinocytes

Project description:Genome-wide 10k SNP profiling of FOXM1B-transduced N/TERT and primary normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK). The aim of this study was to study the cancer initiation role of UVB and FOXM1B upregulation in NHEK. Upregulation of FOXM1B alone (without UVB) was found to directly induce genomic instability in the form of copy number aberration (CNA) and low levels of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in primary NHEK. The FOXM1B-induced CNA was found to be retained and accumulated in subsequent cell culture passages. UVB-exposure resulted in significant chromosomal LOH and CNA in N/TERT cells expressing FOXM1B but not in EGFP-expressing cells. This indicates that UVB corroborated with FOXM1B to recruit LOH and CNA which may predispose cell to malignant transformation. Collectively, these results indicate that aberrant upregulation of FOXM1B in skin keratinocytes following UVB exposure may be an early mechanism whereby cells acquire genomic changes required for oncogenesis. Keywords: Genome-wide SNP profiling for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and copy number aberration (CNA), FOXM1, UVB, Keratinocytes, Basal cell carcinoma, genomic instability, carcinogenesis, squamous cell carcinoma.

Inhibition of miR-497-5p improves keratinocyte function upon skin exposure to sulfur mustard

Project description:Sulfur mustard (SM) is a hazardous chemical warfare agent. Exposure to SM results in various pathologies including skin lesions and impaired wound healing. To date, there are no effective treatments available. Here we discover that the miRNA miR-497-5p is induced in epidermal cells by SM and mediates keratinocyte dysfunction. Transcriptome analysis using RNA-seq in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) revealed that SM evoked differential expression of 1,896 mRNAs and 25 miRNAs with many of these RNAs known to be involved in keratinocyte function and wound healing. We demonstrated that keratinocyte differentiation and proliferation were efficiently regulated by miRNAs induced in skin cells after exposure to SM. The inhibition of miR-497-5p counteracted SM-induced premature differentiation and inhibition of proliferation in NHEK. In addition, we showed that microneedle-mediated transdermal application of lipid-nanoparticles containing miR-497-5p inhibitor improved the healing of human skin biopsies upon exposure to SM. Our findings expand the current understanding of SM-associated molecular toxicology in keratinocytes and highlight miR-497-5p as feasible clinical target for specific skin therapy in SM-exposed patients and beyond.
